Targeted optimizations for the DMABuf-disabled rendering path where
every frame is software-composited:
- Replace infinite CSS scroll-text animation with transition-based
cycle that only repaints during active scroll, not during pauses
- Remove CSS mask-image on scrolling text (mask + animation was the
single most expensive continuous repaint)
- Replace wa-icon in track rows with inline SVG — eliminates 30-50
shadow DOM trees (each with SVG fetch/parse) during scroll
- Remove hover transitions on album cards, artist cards, genre cards,
fav icons, queue remove buttons — each transition was causing
per-frame software repaints
- Use visibility:hidden instead of opacity:0 for queue remove button
(binary switch vs per-frame alpha blend)
- Add decoding=async to now-playing cover art images (prevents
main-thread blocking during image decode on track change)
- Add contain:strict to fixed-height track rows (33px) and queue
items (49px) — browser skips size contribution calculations
- Sidebar: convert all em-based padding/gap to px values, icon sizes to --yj-icon-md
- Now-playing: cover placeholder icon to --yj-icon-lg, text sizes to type tokens
- Search-bar: search icon to --yj-icon-sm, input font to --yj-text-md
- Audio-player: convert em-based gap/padding/margin to px values
- Seek-bar: tooltip font to --yj-text-lg, margin from em to px
- Volume-control: padding/margin from em to px, thumb sizes from em to px
- All components import designTokens and include in static styles
